This bug has existed in the Ultimate mod for absolutely ages, ever since it's first release and it's been carried over into EVERY, SINGLE, REMAKE of the mod. I've probably spent more hours trying to find that bug than I have sleeping. It only happens some games, usually around 1630s, but it can happen seemingly at any point before the original start date of 1830s. Latest it has happened for me is like 1740s.

I've actually managed to "solve" this problem in the time since I wrote this comment.

I've figured out that the texture itself is not broken, but the menu itself is. From what I can gather, the menu itself hogs system memory and seemingly does not release it. I increased the ram available to the game and this problem disappeared... for a time. It only appeared again after several hours of playing. I interpret this as other systems in the mod also bleeds memory.

What happens in practice is that the icons for the items in the menu are black. Just seeing some of these causes the crash. I'm guessing that the crash itself happens because of an "out of memory" problem. This problem solves itself when you restart the game, since it releases all the held memory and reloads the game state from the save file, which is a glorified text-file. It works as a manual release for the held memory.

This is probably the reason only some people happen upon this issue. I'm one of those weirdos who spend over an hour+ in this menu just to make the troops, going in and out of the menus. The more I do it, the more black items appear.

Hopefully this helps someone else!

Thanks! Hopefully you have more luck in finding the darn thing than I have had.

I have several times wondered if it has something to do with Russia, since it seems to not happen in another version of the mod where Russia can form the "Slavic Union." It doesn't seem to happen when they do, so that might be a good area to start in. That is just a guess, though!

I see that the crash in 1620~ is still not fixed. That darn crash has been in this mod since forever. I've tried ******* everything to find out why that happens and I still have no idea why. Maybe you could take a look at it? Is there some event in the 1620-1640 range that could be causing it?

There is sadly still the crash when you're editing your factions clothes. One of the objects in there crashes the game. I remember fixing it back when I played this last time by copying an object and just giving that the same name.

Okay, how the hell do you get away from the wastelander 50-stacks? I just got into the game and I instantly got crushed by them, then they're faster than me eventhough I'm alone on a horse. Like what am I supposed to do? I had like 20 crusaders and they got just rekt.

Oh wow, I fully expected some sort of no-answer, or no one at all. Thanks for answering me so quickly, and I wish you the best of luck.

It will be nice to bring my motherland back to it's status as a superpower.

Thanks, MVH Zh3.

Will there be any Swedish troops in this? I know the Napoleonic Period is too late for any major Swedish involvement, but making the player able to create a second golden age for the northern country would be totally mind blowing.
